Stop it, Kenney

Calgary MP Jason Kenney says a negative tweet featuring Alberta Premier Rachel Notley’s face sitting inside the crosshairs of a scope came from an attention-seeking loser.
The only thing worse than trolls on the ‘net are Internet Morality Cops. What’s worse than that? Moralizing politicians apologizing for stuff that has nothing to do with them. Don’t like drive-by’s? Do what everyone else on Twitter has done, leave. It isn’t like pols actually engage anyone on Twitter or Facebook. All that platform is to politicians is to fool the citizens into thinking their leaders are ‘accessible’. (Just like companies.)
Got a problem? Report it to the police and after that, keep your vote-seeking nose out of people’s business.

Oilsands workers call on Alberta government to retrain electricians as solar installation specialists; (new link)

A company called Iron & Earth is asking the provincial government to help support its Solar Skills campaign, a project that aims to train 1,000 electricians from the oilsands sector to install solar panels on 100 public buildings, making their skills marketable across the energy sector.
“Now is definitely the time to be launching this organization,” said Iron & Earth founder Lliam Hildebrand,

The real agenda behind multiculturalism;

When politicians want to import tens of millions of new immigrants it can look like Washington is trying to remake the electorate. This isn’t pure fantasy. In 1996, Bill Clinton’s White House instructed the Immigration and Naturalization Service “to streamline the naturalization process and greatly increase naturalizations during 1996.” Sure enough, Hispanics more than doubled as a portion of the electorate for Clinton’s 1996 reelection, according to exit polls.
Conservatives won’t win any fights — over guns, marriage, taxes, spending, health care, or anything — if the U.S. electorate is remade in the image of California.

When the citizens reject your socialist, big government world view – get new citizens.

Great Moments In Socialism

How Europe’s infectious institutionalization of irresponsibility is perpetuating the migrant crisis.

Europe’s migration crisis has mostly been covered from the “human interest” perspective, with the perverse proliferation of tragic images and emotive narratives amplified by social media. This collective content stream has made it seem primarily a humanitarian crisis. But that is false.

Well, not me, but apparently the Feds are.

The 20 per cent increase to MPs’ office budgets means each MP will be able to spend an additional $57,690 on top of the current budget of $288,450.

(…)

Typically these budgets are used to hire staff, conduct research and pay for language training, translation services and the general running of the relevant offices.

Why Is There Always A Big Screen TV?

The Black Rod;

The biggest myth regarding 15-year-old Tina was also the most endearing to the M&M crowd — only hours before she disappeared, to be eventually killed by a person or persons unknown, two Winnipeg policemen had her in their custody but let her go her merry way despite the fact that she had been reported as a missing person.
If only they had done their job, she would be alive today. If only, if only…
Then, fourteen months ago (yes, a year and two months ago) The Black Rod reported exclusively that Tina Fontaine WAS NOT MISSING when the police met up with her in the early morning of Aug. 8, 2014. Nobody informed police that she was a missing person until the following day, Aug. 9, 2014.
That detail was available in plain sight in numerous news stories about Tina Fontaine’s disappearance, but none of the “professional” reporters had bothered to put two and two together, no doubt because the truth ruined a perfectly good narrative.
